Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. The surf window kicks off Wednesday the 9th with some clean conditions at Jaconé. It’s a bit of a building story, so let's walk through it.

Wednesday morning is looking pretty special. We’ve got a 6ft ENE swell pushing through with a 7-second period, and the wind is dead glassy out of the N. The water’s about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. This is the kind of session you paddle out for - clean, lined-up, and the cove will be handling it. The energy reading is at 648, which is moderate, but the conditions are the story here. The afternoon goes downhill though, as the wind swings S and brings light rain with it. It won’t be the same wave.

Thursday the 10th sees the swell drop to 4ft, but it’s switching to a S direction with a solid 12-second period. The morning is a bit messy with a cross-shore NW wind, but by the afternoon, the wind goes offshore from the NNE. It’ll be clean and rideable, just not as much push. Think of it as a fun, grovelly day.

Friday the 11th is where things start to get interesting. The swell is still 4ft from the S, but the period jumps to 14 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’ll have some real punch. The morning is offshore NE wind, and it’s clean. The afternoon gets even better with a cross-offshore ESE breeze. The energy is moving up to 827, and this is a standout morning. The wave will be holding its shape nicely. Keep this one in mind.

Saturday the 12th is a washout. Strong WSW winds, rain, and the swell drops to under 3ft. It’s not worth your time, and the energy drops way down to 239. Forget it.

Sunday the 13th brings the biggest swell of the period. We’re looking at 8ft from the S with an 11-second period in the afternoon, and the energy is cranking at 1299. This is a powerful, strong swell. Since it’s over 8ft, it’s expert territory. The morning is still a bit lumpy with a cross-shore SE wind, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore ESE breeze. This is the standout of the whole window for experienced surfers. The paddle out will be work, but the sets will be worth it. This is big, powerful surf.

Monday the 14th drops back down, but it's still fun. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore ENE wind and 6ft of swell. The afternoon the wind goes full offshore from the ENE, and it gets even better. A solid day.

Tuesday the 15th has a bit of swell left, but the afternoon turns onshore from the SSW. The morning is the go-to with a gentle offshore NNE wind. It’s smaller, around 3ft, but clean.

Wednesday the 16th is onshore and messy, with the swell around 5ft but the wind will make it a choppy mess.

Now, looking further out into the second week, the big one is Thursday the 17th. The swell jumps dramatically, hitting 6ft from the S with a massive 16-second period. The energy reading is off the charts at 2360 – that’s very strong. The morning is glassy with a light offshore ENE wind. This is a serious groundswell, and it’s going to be breaking fast and hollow. The period is really long, so at a beach break like this, it might be a bit straight, but it will have so much power. It’s another expert session, but it’s a promising one. The afternoon backs off a touch.

Friday the 18th is still good in the morning with a 6ft S swell and 13-second period, and offshore NNE wind. The afternoon goes to crap with onshore WSW wind.

Saturday the 19th is fun and clean for most of the day, with light winds and glassy conditions in the afternoon. Swell is around 3ft.

Sunday the 20th is small but glassy in the morning. It’s a longboarder’s day, not a performance wave.

Monday and Tuesday of the next week are small and clean. The swell drops off, and it’s pretty average.

Wednesday the 23rd is glassy with no wind, and Thursday the 24th is also glassy in the morning. It’s flat and small, not much to write home about.

So, to sum it up: the first standout is Sunday the 13th afternoon – big, powerful, clean, expert-only. The second is Thursday the 17th morning – massive, long-period groundswell, glassy, and very strong. Those are your two best bets. Everything else is just keeping you wet.

Remember, the long-range stuff is promising but could still shift. Get out there when you can.

Rusty.
